Can someone explain me why the HP/hogwarts stuff has escalated so much?

sure, I get it, Rowling is transophobic. She hates trans. And I agree that is quite bad.

But Chick-fil-A hates lgbtq and people arent getting cancelled for buying a chicken burger.

musk is a racist Russian asset and conspiracy theorist who spent billions of dollars to turn Twitter into a haven for hate speech, fired hundreds of people just for kicks and he longs for the apartheid. Yet people are still using Twitter and people are not getting cancelled for driving a Tesla.

how many game development companies have been exposed for their extremely racist, sexist and inappropriate bro culture and crunch time as a way of doing business, and no one even it remembers it anymore?

I am a bit curious about why Rowling/HP/hogwarts hit different

It wasn't bullying. There may have been a few fringe cases of people going overboard but people politely told her not to play the game.

And regardless, I feel like this is a drip in the water compared to the bucket of stuff Trans people have to go through. Rowling keeps allying herself with people who make merely existing as a Trans human a living hell and you got Republicans in America trying to actively strip their rights away. Let's not forget how Russia turns a blind eye over Trans people being murdered as people on social media pose in front of the murdered body of a trans person they hunted like its sports.

So what Pikamee went through is childs play compared to what they go through.

Pffft, people did not politely tell her to not play the game. What the fuck? Twitter fiends flooded her pre-chat room with criticism and extremely hateful comments. She later put out a tweet saying that her desire to play the game did not mean she supports transphobic views and people attacked her for that, too.

A bunch of worthless people attacked and bullied a really nice Vtuber who, I should remind you, has a history of awful bullying in her childhood. Fuck anyone who harassed her

She wasn't cancelled for Hogwarts. She didn't even play it. All signs point to she was planning this long before. But, please, feel free to jump on the hate all trans folk bandwagon. reddit and /vt/ are both full on hate trans people now.

Because these people literally grew up with Harry Potter, so they view this as a literal betrayal of sorts even though people a fair number of the actors in the movies they grew up watching either don't give a shit (RIP Robbie Coltrane) or put out a simple "separate an art from the artist" statement.

Because the internet sucks. People had valid reasons to raise awareness that JK Rowling is a POS. Then the usual crowd go ballistic over this. People turn this into another way to just harass people they don't like.

Grow the fuck up. I think the Rowling thing is a bit much, but youd have to be absolutely clueless to say her directly hateful statements are somehow better than donating to a church that offers a voluntary program.

Chickfila hates BBQ, not LBGTQ. Get it right.

https://www.esquire.com/food-drink/restaurants/a36622217/chick-fil-a-owner-donations-against-equality-act/

Owner of Chick-Fil-A literally donates to organizations that push against LBGTQ rights. It's the practically the same situation with JK Rowling and Hogwarts Legacy.

No one got bullied to the degree that people are getting bullied over Hogwarts Legacy so somehow it only matters when it comes to video games.

The narrative that the bullying had nothing to do with her retirement is really coming to a head. She's going to have to make a statement with how she's become a rallying cry. People are treating her like a martyr for the cause. If she doesn't say "Hogwarts Legacy had nothing to do with my retirement." It will prove that it was the reason. She has to see what people are saying about it.

Funniest part; has Rowling donated to any anti-LGBTQ+ organizations? I don't know but assuming she hasn't (again, I'm not educated on this as well as the rest of you) that makes the point even better.

Because on the one hand, you have a generation raised on the presumed principals of inclusivity in the Harry Potter series feeling betrayed by the author, on top of a generation of social media stars chasing every single fad.
While on the other you have a fast food company that's always been explicitly Christian.
It's like asking. "Why doesn't Chick-fil-a have a theme park section in Universal?"

There's rational discussion around Harry Potter and Chick-fil-a, and there's irrational discussion around them - from both sides of the fences. Then there's school kids who are breaking toilets and licking ice cream in grocery stores who lack a fundamental understanding of the parasocial relationship between them and social media.

And, btw, I do have a friend who has been kicked out of my friend group because of his support for Chick-fil-a. And he deserved it...
